Headache and fatigue

[allmygirls3]

My 5 yr. old came home Tuesday complaining of a headache and was vomiting. She said she had hit her head at school, but the CT showed nothing abnormal.  She slept from 4 pm til 7am then next morning waking only for mins at a time. Wed she stayed home and slept most of the day not really eating. She went to sleep last night at 6 and slept til 7:30 then woke to eat alittle then back out at 8. She slept all night until 7 this morning. She is still complaining of a headache. I am not sure what is going on. She is not running a fever. Anyone have any suggestions?  I called her Dr. and they just thought maybe it was a bug. I guess I am just worried.

No they told me that after 3 hours she was able to sleep. I was shocked as well. I took her to the ER they did the CT there that night. It was normal. She didnt tell the school when she fell. I am not sure why she didnt. There wasnt a big knot or anything. Just alittle bump. I was worried so I called her DR. They didnt seem to be too concerned, she said it may just be a bug. She never did run a temp or any other complaints just headache, the vomiting ( which only lasted a few hours), and the sleeping. I just dont think its normal for a 5 yr old with out a fever to sleep that much. Maybe I am just worrying too much.

I am surprised they did not tell you to keep her awake as is the usual thing to do in case of concussion,also with the vomiting .did you take her for the scan ?what did they say it could have been a virus, ,ask the school what happened and how bad the bang was she received
